Talent Showdown 2015

So… this year was the first year that I attended Teen Times*’ ‘Interscholastic Talent Showdown**. I don’t think I had been to one in about 10 years and boy did I feel old.

Feeling old aside, it was a pretty good night. The event was held at the Westin Hotel. By the time I got there I was hungry and needed to eat. So I missed the acting category because I was eating. But I caught the rapping, singing, individual dance and group dance categories. And as I knew before, but was reminded, no one can say that my island doesn’t have any talent. My personal preference is the dance competition ( I think i was a dancer in a past life).

There were so many teens there! I was blown away. Though I’m not sure why. There were probably just as many of us attending when I was that age. I’m also pretty sure I was just as annoying tryna be cute as I hung out with my friends.
